Best Answer

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter and one of the founders of Impressionism. Impressionist paintings can be recognized by their liberal application of color, visible brushstrokes, and emphasis on light. Impressionists like Monet applied paint quickly, not worrying about how smooth or finished the final painting appeared. This was in direct contrast to academic art, the popular style of art in Monet's time. Monet and the Impressionists also had a penchant for painting mundane subjects, such as landscapes and scenes of daily life in the city and countryside. Monet is most famous for his series of paintings on the same subject; his series Water Lilies is comprised of about 250 oil paintings that depict his garden at Giverny. Monet and the Impressionists painted the same thing so many times because they were trying to capture the fleeting appearance of light in nature at different times of the day.
